[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, a device for measuring the height of a specified part of a person's foot is a foot height measuring device affiliated with the Japan Footwear Association, but it is not generally available on the market. Furthermore, the foot height measuring device cannot accurately measure the height of a designated area inside the shoe. Furthermore, 5ATRACTThe 5hoe & A11id T is a device for measuring the height of a specified part inside the shoe.
nades Re+5earchAssociation
There is a measuring device from the British shoe and foot organization. This is a mechanism in which the scale part is slidably installed at the bottom of the measuring device body, and the scale is read by adjusting the distance from the inner heel to the center of the movable part at the rear end of the shoe. The scale part is fixed to a designated part of the shoe using screws.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The foot height measuring device of the All Japan Footwear Association does not serve as an accurate measuring device for the specified part of the shoe, and
A device from ATRA that measures the height of a designated area inside a shoe is a device that measures the distance from the inner heel to the center of the movable part at the rear end of the shoe, which is slidably installed at the bottom of the measuring device. The scale parts that match must be fixed with screws one by one. Furthermore, it is difficult to say that the shape of the portion that the scale portion touches matches the shape of the internal heel, and therefore, it is impossible to accurately measure the designated region of a person's foot or the designated region inside the shoe.

Therefore, in order to accurately measure designated parts of the foot and shoe using the same measuring device, the present invention has a movable part of the foot in a shape that does not cause pain to the human body, and allows the movable part to be moved at any position.
